If “The Fly” taught us anything it’s that Star Trek is full of lies because teleportation isn’t all swirly lights and cool poses, it’s actually a terrifying technology that is guaranteed to result in a Jeff Goldblum fly monster that will eat your face off as he screams his horrifying man-fly scream. It also taught us the perils of merging two very different things. Apparently, Vaughn Pinpin isn’t very familiar with Goldblum’s filmography, because he’s gone and merged two things that simply shouldn’t come together. Tim Burton and Pokemon. When I think of Pokemon — as I often do, since I’m a hopeless geek — images of cute and colorful creatures come to my mind. I want to pinch Pikachu’s cheeks, I don’t even care that he may very well fry my unsuspecting ass with a thunderbolt.

When I look at these demons, the only thought that graces my mind is the one that tells me to cave its comically large head in with a baseball bat and set it on fire before it consumes my soul. If you don’t mind enduring the feeling of one of these hellspawn creatures devouring your soul as it looks up at you with its giant glowing eyes, then sure, click that ‘read more’ link. Nothing bad will happen to you, I promise.

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
